Concert For Democracy In China 【民主歌聲獻中華】
The Concert for Democracy in China was a benefit concert held in Hong Kong in support of the students involved in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The concert was held on May 27, 1989 at the Happy Valley Racecourse on Hong Kong Island.

The event was hosted by James Wong, Phillip Chan, Eric Tsang, and John Shum. Shum stated in an interview that no performers were invited to the concert; all of the performers enlisted voluntarily. Sing Pao Daily News reported that the event was attended by nearly one million people, while Ta Kung Pao reported around 500,000 participants. Other estimates state the event was attended by around 200,000 people.

Aftermath :
After the event, Lee Cheuk-yan, representing the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, was detained upon arriving in Beijing with HK$1,000,000 in donations made by the Hong Kong people to the event.

《民主歌聲獻中華》是香港市民為支持北京八九民運而舉辦的籌款活動,1989年5月27日在跑馬地馬場舉行,無綫電視翡翠台、亞洲電視本港台、香港電台第一台、香港商業電台商業一台聯合現場直播。
此次活動由黃霑、陳欣健、曾志偉與岑建勳主持,活動持續了長達12小時,共籌得1300萬港元善款,《成報》報道入場觀眾人數估計近百萬,《大公報》則報道說參與人數約為五十萬。參與表演的歌手包括羅文、鄧麗君、梅艷芳、侯德健、沈殿霞、周華健、汪明荃、盧冠廷、鍾鎮濤、張明敏、夏韶聲、陳百強、張學友、黃凱芹、太極、Beyond、達明一派、李克勤、周慧敏、蔣志光、呂珊、郭小霖、Blue Jeans、Maria Cordero、王傑、蔡立兒、顏福偉等,劉德華、周潤發、譚詠麟、成奎安、李麗珍、錢小豪、張曼玉、郭秀雲、張國強、林子祥,亦通過現場大屏幕表示支持。
當年《民主歌聲獻中華》籌備時間不足一星期,但在「樂壇大姐大」梅艷芳的號召下,演藝界一呼百應。演唱會台前掛上一條「全港演藝界支持北京學運」紅字白底布條。
活動後,李卓人代表香港市民支援愛國民主運動聯合會(支聯會)把100萬港元捐款送到北京時被拘留,迫簽悔過書,三日後才獲釋,而部分參與大會之人士亦已各散東西,而款項被北京當局全數沒收。
翌年(1990年),羅大佑、岑建勳、梅艷芳、葉德嫻、盧冠廷、黃耀明等藝人,仍然有參與在其他海外地區,同樣以民主歌聲獻中華為名,為民運籌款的演唱活動。
